KOHN family of 19th Century Hungary
#hungary
HeyJudy123@...
We have in our family, as "ephemera," a wedding invitation.
C. 1925, it was sent to Bertha HERSKOVITS BAYERN, the mother of my maternal grandmother, here in New York City by relations in "Kosice." Kosice (a/k/a "Kassa," "Kashau") now is in Slovakia but, then, it was part of Hungary. Berta had been born in Kosice while her husband, my great-grandfather Moritz BAYERN, was born in the nearby town of "Huncovce," a/k/a "Hunfalu," "Hunsdorf." And HERSKOVITS has been spelled at least a half-dozen different ways, including HERSHKOWITZ, HERSKOVITZ, etc. The bride in the invitation was Judit KOHN and the groom was Martin HABER. I do not know how our families were related, bride's side or groom's. Nor do I know whether this couple survived the Nazis, though I suspect not. Consistent with factual statistics, one cousin's recent research indicates that only two or three members out of a family of more than 90 survived. During the two decades surrounding the beginning of the 20th Century, many of Berta's Hungarian relations relocated to the Cleveland, Ohio (USA) vicinity. Judy SEGAL New York City USA

Re: Sarospatak Archives
#hungary
Sandor Bacskai <bacskaisanyi@...>
Dear Amos Zezmer,
The Jewish records of Nagykapos/Velke Kapusany (as like the records of Szobranc/Sobrance) are kept in Ungvar/Uzhhorod. Please remind that Nagykapos (and Szobranc) located in the formerly Ung County, but Sarospatak is in Zemplen. And the Archives of Zemplen is in the old county-town Satoraljaujhely, instead of Sarospatak. So I'm surprised if the Sarospatak Archives was allowed to have any vital record books. Regards, Sandor Bacskai Budapest, Hungary ------------------------------------------------- Subject: The Sarospatak archives From: Amos Israel Zezmer <amos.zezmer@wanadoo.fr> Date: Tue, 09 May 2006 02:40:40 -0300 X-Message-Number: 5 When in Kosice last year, I was told by the secretary of the Jewish community that the Jewish records for Nagykapos, prior to the late 1800's, can be found in the archives in Sarospatak, northeast of Miskolc. Does anyone know if this is a fact. And, if so, what are the steps to accessing these archives? Thank you. Amos Zezmer Yerres, France. Researching SPIEGEL/Munkacs and region ROTH/Nagykapos

Friday Sessions at IAJGS Conf-May 15 Early Registration Deadline
#hungary
Vivian Kahn
Dear All,
Before you book that return plane ticket, or plan to hop on the train to your summer home or to take off for the beach, please look at the Conference's Friday morning schedule. Several exciting presentations, including sessions of particular interest to Hungarian SIG members, are planned for Friday morning. We have been blessed with over 260 presentations. Rather than keeping everyone awake until midnight every night to attend them, we opted to schedule a full morning of sessions on Friday, Aug. 18, >from 8:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. If you're interested in Jews >from Lithuania, Ukraine, Hungary, Greece, Transcarpathia, Scotland -- or New York... If you'd like to gain exposure on the Internet, unearth deep dark secrets about the criminals in your family's past, or find other "Jews in the news"... If you need advice on getting organized, publishing your research, or conserving your photos and documents... If you're searching for living relatives or trying to learn more about Shoah victims or survivors... If you hope to understand your "chochka" (or how a word comes to be spelled that way)... If you want to hear the story of a genealogist who became "suddenly Jewish"... ...Friday has something for you. I suggest that you read about Friday's sessions on the Conference web site www.jgsny2006.org/conference_program.cfm One of these programs requires some preparation. For "The Jewish Chochka and Ephemera Road Show" (Session 408), Rafi Guber requests that registrants bring family items, documents, photos, and ephemera to the conference. He and a panel will help determine when and >from where the items originated and any other secrets they may reveal about your family. Please remember to bring along items for this exciting session. Stay through the 18th and leave on a chai! EARLY REGISTRATION MUST BE SUBMITTED BY MAY 15, 2006 !!!

All Hungary Database Status Update
#hungary
Carol J. Robinson <caroljr@...>
The All Hungary Database is now three years old and continues to grow
due to H-SIG's dedicated volunteers. The AHD was first published in late March 2003 with 45,000 records. We were proud to announce that the AHD had over 140,000 records after one year and over 240,000 records after two years. Now as of three years, the AHD has over 350,000 records. That's about 100,000 records added per year, the majority of which are transcribed by H-SIG members. We just published an update of the 1869 Census database, thanks to the incredibly prolific work by Marelynn Zipser. The new records are >from Zemplen megye. We have additional records in the publication queue, so the AHD will grow again in the near future. We are making outstanding progress on current projects, including the 1848 Census, "Other Census," Vital Records, and Holocaust Memorial projects (project coordinators Robert Neu, Eric Bloch, Sam Schleman, and Carol Robinson respectively). If you are looking for ways to help, contact me or the project coordinators. Another way to help is by photographing Holocaust memorials and/or cemeteries in H-SIG areas. Remember that we need entire memorials and individual panels as well as entire cemeteries. We have accomplished so much due to the dedication of the many volunteers who have contributed their time and talent to the AHD. All I can say is Koszonom, Danke, Dakujem, Multumesc, Toda and Thank You! Carol Robinson H-SIG Research Coordinator Alameda, CA caroljr@alamedanet.net
